I want to see the whole car to see how the new wheel looks on it. From this pic I'm not sure. Also they have a new split spoke design. Maybe like the Z06?

Wow, the LS2 was rather short-lived.

2.73 "performance" gear ratio with the A6? I don't know much about the A6, but 2.73s aren't usually a performace gear.

2.73 sounds like room for improvement... Then again, what are the ratios of the A6?

Transmissions
Type: 6 man 6 man w/ Z51 6 auto

1 2.66 2.97 4.02
2 1.78 2.07 2.36
3 1.30 1.43 1.53
4 1.00 1.00 1.15
5 0.74 0.71 0.85
6 0.50 0.57 0.67
R 2.90 3.28 3.06

Rear 3.42 3.42 2.56

So a 2.73 is better over the 2.56...
